Utah football suffers a significant blow as standout freshman JJ Buchanan enters the transfer portal, leaving behind a promising career at the Utes. Buchanan, a six-foot-four pass-catcher, had a breakout year in 2025, becoming a top target for quarterback Devon Dampier. With the Utes losing their top two receivers, Buchanan was set to step up as the number one option in 2026. However, coaching staff changes after the season prompted him to explore other opportunities. The team is also bracing for losses on defense, including All-American edge rusher John Henry Daley. Buchanan is expected to make an instant impact wherever he lands, with Michigan being a potential destination.
